When
I'm not writing bondage erotica, my mind remains a cornucopia of
miasmic frenzy where torrents of ideas and notions surge and dash like
the floodwaters that swamped New Orleans -- only less muddy and
generally less expensive to clean up after. Here, for absolutely no
charge, you may read the articles, reviews and essays that spring forth
from my mind like spring-loaded cats in a grade-B horror movie.

As
for the new "Departments" section, it's been long overdue as some
topics have produced many more articles than others. The new
department, "Celebrity Bondage" is for the convenience of those are
searching for particular celebrities in bondage. There are about a
dozen celebrities listed at present, but there will be more ... many,
many more.

DEPARTMENTS

Introducing The Homouth Part 1

Another
new book, this one about a President of the United States who oversteps
her bounds and winds up being, for all practical purposes, a slavegirl,
bought and sold and used, and worst of all, her enemies have replaced
her mouth with a vagina via nanotech. It's erotic AND it's political
satire. And hopefully, fun from the first word to the last.

Review of "Slave Girl of Akkadis"

I'm
detecting a trend in erotic romances written by male authors: a
distressing lack of romance. Fortunately, "Slavegirl of Akkadis" has a
strong plot and a well developed universe as well.

Review of "The Last Slavegirl"

The
erotic romance subgenre of romance novels is Where The Action Is,
sparking a whole slew of kinky romances at Amazon.com. But buyer
beware: some of these books are retreads.

Arrow-Harmony Bondagevs.Youtube Bondage

What
was once considered HARD PORE CORN is now a little naughty fun. An
examination of the implications of the similarities of Arrow-Harmony
videos and current Youtube videos, and the implications that has for
the nature of "porn."

Women of Cell Block FThis
strange little XXX film is an entry for the No-Bondage Zone, and
bondage is not all it lacks. It lacks virtually everything except
hardcore sex, there's plenty of that. It's almost certainly a budgie
job -- read the review if you want to know what I mean by that.

Just what the title says. I let
the beauty of the lands of Gor in Second Life speak for themselves ...
mostly. It wasn't just about having sex with beautiful slavegirls and
fighting, you know. Though there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with either
of these activities.

Roleplay At The Gor Visions Tavern

I visited the Gor Visions Tavern to conduct an interview for a post for
my blog and got more than I bargained for. Here's an example of Gorean
roleplay live and in person.

Introduction to Second Life Gor

Six, count 'em, six articles on how to get started playing Second Life
Gor. Everything you need to know from where to start, where to get
great freebies, how to get started in combat, how to negotiate the
intricacies of the game, and of course, how to do the sexual roleplay.
Includes a chapter for 50 Shades of Gray fans who want to know how the
famous erotic romance compares with Gorean sexual roleplay. Suitably
illustrated! Have at!

How To Commit Sexual Roleplay in Second Life Gor

Here's how even you can get in on the fabulous fun of sexual roleplay
in Second Life Gor. Covers text roleplay, pose balls, and the dangers
and rewards it promises. Also, 50 Shades of Gray!

Whither Bondage in the Media?

Some fans of mainstream media bondage scenes are saying they've lost
interest with all the violence directed at damsels in distress in
modern scenes. The lighthearted fun bondage scenes are gone, they say.
So where is media going in terms of bondage imagery?

A History of The Sex Wars!

From the Victorian times to the 80s the Sex Wars have raged in
America. From the brutal depredations of Anthony Comstock to the sly
mischaracterizations of Catherine MacKinnon, the Sex Wars have
influenced and shaped American culture. Now I have come to illustrate
and describe, in a completely biased and nonsensical way, these wars!
Be afraid ... be very afraid!

Introducing the Celebrity Slave Girl Department

A brand new department, Celebrity Slave Girls. We're
unhampered by the thought that there are no Celebrity Slave Girls in
real life, because plenty of hottie celebrities have dressed up in ways
that make the slave girl fantasy fuel, and we've got the goods!

A Brief Visual History of Pony Girls

It occurs to us that we have not yet written a brief visual history
of Pony Girl. So here it is! We also explain the origin and purpose of
the bustle, and it's relation to the Pony Girl phenomon, and why all
those women photographed in the bustle era wore the same expression.

Announcing: Kajira!

New from GorCo, it's Kajira, the doll for every little girl's most
private, most heartfelt dreams! This doll is FULLY poseable,
anatomically correct, and politically incorrect! And the price: you
CAN'T HANDLE the price! It's THAT low!

The
Search for the Real Dejah Thoris

In March 2012, Disney Studios is coming out with a movie
based on
Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels about John Carter of Mars and his
hot-blooded Martian princess Dejah Thoris. In the books, Dejah ran
around pretty much naked, like most Martians. We don't think Disney is
likely to get that right. So we've started a new department to help
them out with lots of images of hot, naked, chained Dejah Thoris.

A
group of images thave have mystified us ... well, me at least ...
because no one knew its origin ... is at last identified! A riveting
example of a brilliant mind solving a mystery that no one else knew
existed!

Nicole
Kidman gets bound and naked, bound and gagged, and does a bit of
self-bondage in "Birthday Girl." Other things happen as well, sadly
including an instance of Lurking Heavy Plot ruining what could have
been another "Secretary."

You
know how I keep talking about Lifetime Channel women in prison movies?
Well, this is one. And it has a couple of really strict bondage scenes.
How about a straightjacket hogtie? Sure puts a couple of sexploitation
women in prison movies I could name to shame.

I
started my "Women in Prison" section because of the startup of the US
women in prison series "Bad Girls" so I thought I should review the
British women in prison series "Bad Girls" that it's based on. And add
some thoughts on how the US version can avoid fucking up like the Brits
did.

Another
women in prison movie reviewed, and this one is full of nakedness and
violence as Dirk the Human Wrecking Ball demolishes an evil prison
facility. And then there's the evil lesbian warden Sybil Thorn. Fun
will be had by all.

For
July 13, Catherine Oxenberg covers up a murder committed by her son and
winds up in a prison where she's forced to dance sexily for men. It
starts off like a Lifetime women in prison flick and winds up a
stripperific exploitation flick, featuring Catherine Oxenberg naked as
well as some very talented strippers.

We
think we have photographic evidence that she did. But then, we also
think that robots are stealing our luggage. But this is probably more
than the harebrained malarkey it looks like ... well, we'd like to
think that.

Conan is not into bondage, not by a long shot, but the
world he lives in is ... VERY into bondage. And the incredibly well
made Savage Sword of Conan series, newly issued in
trade paperback by Dark Horse, makes it very clear.

This
hentai attempts to be a humorous story about a nurse in training whom
EVERYONE wants to rape. Male, female, young, old, they all press their
unwanted sexual advances on her virginal self. It's billed as a comedy,
but it's not funny, which is ... a bit of a problem.

This
week, a 27,000 word short story. OK, that's more like a novella. It's
about a young woman who figures out that cosplay can be an excuse to
spend four days naked and crawling all over cute boys. Her costume ...
Slavegirl Belinda, who makes Slave Leia look overdressed!

In
which we discover that Penny Edwards wore a REALLY tight bitgag in the
1952 film "Pony Soldier," leading us to some ruminations about whether
or not modern actresses are "pimpin' da bondage" when promoting their
movies.

In
our continuing coverage of firsts in bondage in mainstream media, we've
updated our story on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit's achievement
as having the first panty gag on mainstream TV. Not only that, the
first nude panty gag. Now, that's dedication!

In our review of the Skinamax flick Testing
the Limits
we introduce the concepts of the Reluctant Sensitive Guy and Lurking
Heavy Plot. On the bright side, Lorissa McComas gets bound and gagged
and naked, though not all at once.

Buffy
the Vampire Slayer's "Dead Things" episode had a beautiful shot to
develop some real drama, or humor, and definitely some DiD action. Came
right up to the gate ... and balked. We explain why and how.

We
tripled the number of examples of Wonder Woman's bondage competitors in
last week's Wonder Woman article because, well, it's fun snarking on
those old comics. Click on the pic to go to the index for the section,
or click
here to go right to the first new example.

The
creators of Terminal Virus,
a Roger Corman sci-fi schlockfest, came up with what is undoubtedly one
of the most brilliant sexual bondage scenarios I have ever encountered
anywhere. Then ... they TOTALLY blew it. Review, R.

We
examined thousands of pictures of naked, nude, half-naked and
occasionally even clothed women to discover the nature of nakedness and
nudity. Don't bother to thank us. The work was its own reward. Essay. R.

It's
billed as a teen sex comedy, but it's nothing of the sort. It's a
disquieting journey to a place where nothing is as it seems, a place
where you hope for an F, but Og knows what you'll be getting ...
Review, PG.

This
story about the fun, kinky approach to modern inn management is a great
introduction to hentai for newcomers and also a great couples hentai.
The gorgeous animation, strong characterization and plotting make it
fun for all, in fact. Review, R.

This
adult anime is nasty, dirty and fun -- but not for beginners. It will
try the tolerance of even the most hardened hentai fan. But it's worth
it, with surprisingly strong characters and really well done animation
and character design. Review, R.

A
group of ex-cons get together for One Last Heist which involves
kidnapping a beautiful movie star noted for her refusal to do nude
scenes, with the intent of forcing her to do a nude scene for a
lucrative Webcast. Would you believe things go awry? Review, R.

A
Skinamax parody of the 1960s TV series I Dream of Jeannie comes through
with some mild bondage and generally horny fun. At last, Genie is
allowed to serve her master in the way we always dreamed she would.
Review, R.

A
series of lawsuits wending their way through the court system seeks to
determine whether or not and under what circumstances it's OK to alter
a movie or TV program without permission. It's bluenoses vs. Hollywood
directors, but you and I are the ones who will win either way, Essay, R.

In
Imbalance of Power, we teasingly promised -- or obliquely threatened,
as some call it -- to explain how you can make exciting, interesting
movies that involve sexual power imbalances by focusing on character.
Here's that explanation. Part of the Power Relationships series. Essay,
R.

Generally,
if you're looking at a woman with her legs secured this far apart, from
this angle, she's naked and you're watching bondage porn ... Some
thoughts on futuristic bondage imagery. Part of the Futuristic Bondage
series. Essay, R.

An
episode of the series "Birds of Prey" shows how futuristic bondage
SHOULDN'T be handled, and prompts more thoughts on the nature of
futuristic bondage imagery. Part of the Futuristic Bondage series
Essay, R.

In
some U.S. states, in fact most of them, there was a window of time
where it was legal to rape your wife, but you could get committed to an
asylum for consensually tying her up during sex. Go figure. Info, R.

Why
sex and bondage don't get no respect in mainstream films and TV shows,
and why commercial porn DOES respect them in ways the mainstream does
not. Features the infamous Table of Horribleness. Info, R.

An
examination of the real-life technology issues involved in the building
of mechanical women for sexual purposes, written as a public service so
I won't have to watch Pinocchio ver. 5007.b118 in the future. There are
some good stories to tell, if you have a clue. Here are several. Info,
R.

We're
hoping you don't buy the extremely silly notion that the traditional
image of the valentine heart comes from the human heart. There's a bit
of anatomy that MUCH more closely resembles it. Essay, R.
